it's the same as the regular right except your favorite band is rage against the machine and you make posts on facebook all the time explaining how racism is in the past and we should all get over it and band together to stop the liberals.

The alt right is full of and teens, twenty and thirty something virgin neck beards. They also openly support fascism and racism, while the right at least pretends they don't like those things. They also love memes and the internet.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
The regular right wants to insert all kinds of religious laws into your rear end in a top hat. The alt right literally wants to dismantle the govt. Hth.

I mean, even Jews are divided on the subject.

Yeah pretty much. I guess a better definition is the alt right are the SJWs of the right. They're going to be the idiots that are going to vote in Trump because it's anti-establishment, even though a lot of them voted in Obama because it was anti-establishment back then. Keep that pendulum swinging.
